Dear University of St Andrews,

I would be very grateful if you could prrovide me with the the lowest UKCAT score successful in obtaining an interview in Medicine for the years 2015/16, 2016/17, 2017/18, please, to exclude candidates with any widening access criteria such as REACH, LEAPS or similar
I would be grateful if these could be separated by fee status, please.

Dear University of St Andrews,

Please pass this on to the person who conducts Freedom of Information reviews.

Ref number 291-18
I am writing regarding my FOI request, reference number as above. It appears we differ over our interprtation of the academic years for which I was was requesting data. I meant academic year 2017/2018 to to include data for the year where applicants applied in 2017 and would commence their studies in 2018, yet the data you have supplied relate to the cohort starting studies in 2017, so I would be grateful if you could also issue me with the same information for the academic year commencing Sept 2018, please.

Many thanks

A full history of my FOI request and all correspondence is available on the Internet at this address: https://www.whatdotheyknow.com/request/a...

Dear Ms Macdonald,

I acknowledge receipt of your email below dated 25 September, 2018 and
note that the reporting period you intended to be covered by your enquiry
did not match the way in which your request for information has been
interpreted by the University.  As there has been a misunderstanding,
rather than treat your latest communication as a request for review I am
processing this as a separate request for new information and trust this
is acceptable.

For the avoidance of doubt, I am liaising with the relevant department to
gather the following data:

·         Lowest UKCAT score successful in obtaining an interview in
Medicine for year 2018/19 i.e. commencing September 2018.

·         Data to exclude candidates with any widening access criteria
such as REACH, LEAPS or similar.

·         Data to be separated by fee status.

If the above description of the information requested does not match your
requirements please advise me accordingly, otherwise you can expect to
receive a response no later than 23 October, 2018.

Equally, if you are unhappy with the proposed way forward in terms of
managing your enquiry let me know.  I will be back in touch as soon as
possible.

Yours sincerely,

June
